PADs in Bangladesh?

The national quality control lab for pharmaceuticals in Bangladesh is a busy site; the photo shows dissolution testing in progress. Prof. Lieberman visited in mid-March to discuss use of PADs as a component of risk-based quality screening. Although the lab in Dhaka is fully modern and another lab in Chittagong is also set up for pharmacopeia assays, there are many inspectors who work in areas which are not as well equiped. For these inspectors, PADs could help in determining which samples are most important for full lab analysis.
